Been using Sysinternals utilities since Windows 98! Here's a tip. As you noted some utilities require Admin level security. Others, notably Autoruns, may not require or ask for Admin level security when run, but to perform an operation - like Jump To (Registry) Entry in Autoruns - require Admin level to operate. Rather than having to Right Click on the app and select Run As Administrator, right click on the file (app) and select Properties, select the Compatibility tab and at the bottom click the [Change Settings for All Users] button. In the window that pops up, check the "Run this program as an Administrator" box and click OK/OK. Now you'll still get asked if you want to give the app permission to run (always), but you won't have to right click and select the Run As Admin any more!
Thanks for the tip!
SysInternals author Mark Russinovich is one of the true major contributors to the software world, along with other greats like Peter Norton, Phil Katz RIP, Nick Bradbury etc. I used SI for 15-20 years from well before Microsoft acquired it and Mark-the utilities are top class and rock solid.
I don't use them anymore, as Windows today is far ahead of where it was in the 90s and 00s. But ZoomIt does look interesting :)
Agreed! May I add Dan Briklin to your list? From VisiCalc to Spinrite and beyond...
@@connclissmann6514 Of course :) There are dozens more at least-I only mentioned a few whose work benefited me considerably. Btw I'm fairly sure Steve Gibson was the SpinRite guy :)
@@silversolver7809 Greetings fellow old guys!
way back then, I rescued several XT type machines by running Spinrite, the machines were running slowly and the users were going to get rid of them but I run Spinrite on them overnight and tell them to reboot, and all those bad sectors were returned to the system by a low level format of each block.
In those days the heads didn’t park and turning off the PC might write random crap at that location. After years the hard disk would have lots of bad sectors.
@@connclissmann6514 Dan Briklin and VisiCalc co-author Bob Frankston rarely get a mention these days, but they created what was probably the first desktop ‘killer application’; the reason many people bought PCs in those days. I was lucky enough to be able to teach myself VisiCalc on a TRS-80 when I was a young teenager in the UK (early 80s), and it set me up for a successful life in the ‘computer business’. I encourage visiting Dan’s website (it’s easy to find); there’s a great history of VisiCalc there.
Thank you so much. Our IT department and I have been trying to locate the source of a problem with my computer. I have never seen them use these tools to find it, so thanks so much for sharing. I am going too try these tools out. The screen annotation tool is awesome, and something I can really use while teaching. I always learn a bunch from you!
Thanks for the information! PSExec and Process Explorer are two that I use often. PowerToys is also one of my go-to utilities and it's still available today. I still have my 1996 Sony PCV-70 166 MHz Pentium. It came with Windows 95a. I asked the Circuit City salesperson about the single USB port, and she said that it was new technology that is not yet enabled. Upgrading to Windows 95b enabled it and I added a ZIP drive. I think Windows 2000 was the last OS running on it. I skipped Windows ME (that was a terrible OS)
Wow, this is powerful. Thank you Leila!
thanks for sharing all those key combinations for using zoomit.
Kudos for the clarity of presentation.
Hello Leila, Thank You for the refresher video. I have been using some of the tools since the early releases. What tool do you use to get the Mouse to right-click the icon on the video to demonstrate the tutorial?
I have used the suite over the years, absolutely needed
Thank you very much indeed, you outdid yourself today.........Great utility apprauch.
Excellent! Many thanks Leila! 🙏
You are an extraordinary instructor.
Super informative...Thanks a lot. Any suggestion for a tool to get uptime of list of servers?
Very useful tools as perfect intro , Thank you .
Great video. I use process explorer daily. Now need to check out the others . Thanks!
Excellent presentation and informative!!!
BGInfo used on all PCs around here. Can save a lot of time and indicates last reboot time. Ready to trim the options and make the font smaller, to keep it in the top right corner.
*Been using Sysinternals for a while. Phenomenal programs for us deep IT troubleshooters.*
Amazing video. Thank you!!
Thank you! It was really easy to understand. I'll even send this to my friend who need some win os help. I'm about to follow
Very useful
thanks a bunch!!!!
Thanks for nice information!!! On Windows 11 Store it's available as an app. Is it having all the similar functions?
Thanks for this video and helpful for trouble shot some PC and laptop
Thanks for this valuable video, Watching from Sri Lanka, Sharing knowledge is highly appreciated.
I like your windows content and the way you guide us through. Thank you for your professional hard work Lei.
Wonderful. Thanks
The stuff that has come from Mark Russinovich and his Sysinternal's team is outstanding and remarkable: There were times when they knew more about the internal workings of Microsofts file system and stuff than the people at Microsoft themselves. I was not the slightest bit surprised when Microsoft acquired them. It has always seemed like they have been able to, and allowed to, do what they are best at.
Leila, I may not be able to watch every one of your videos but when I do, you are a blessing.
Thank you so much leila ... this is so amazing and highly recommend, thank you! once again .
Amazing!! Thank you!
Thank you didn’t know about this!
Wow, this will assist so much.
That was very informative. I will have to get that. It is the sort of thing that only soft ware engineers have.
ZoomIT is definitely my favorite tool. Thank you for the great video, Leila!
My favorite tool is Autoruns. That is helping too much in speeding up my Windows. Thank you for the tutorial
👍
Very valuable video 👍 thank you
Restart is my favorite. lol Thank you, keep it sincere and I'll continue to watch.
Wow... This is an excellent tutorial of sooo cool tools...👍👍👌👌Good for a system/ network admins or those who want to be.
Thanks Leila for yet again a super useful video! You are helping us in so many ways, really appreciate! My favorite tool is Zoomit, it has been very helpful during meetings and trainings for sure! 👍
Thanks for sharing, Vijay!!
I can get most of ZoomIt functions except drawing. Can you help why my drawing does not work despite pressing hold shift, hold control, hold tab ….?
Very informative Thanks! 👍👍👍
Thanks Leila, for letting us know such useful features
My pleasure 😊
Wow! This is great stuff, Leila, and thanks. I especially like your methods and style of teaching that is very understandable and simple to learn. A subscription to your channel is one of the most valuable I have.
Nice post, Thank you Leila!
Wow, thanks Leila! I had never heard of this. I've used Power Toys, but never knew of this.
My favorite is psexec. I often fall back to it when Microsoft's newer remote admin tools fail. I use it to execute commands on remote computers.
👍
Nicely done!
Very good and useful information
Hi Leila, I like sysinternals too, and I am a longterm user.
My favourite utility is ShareX which does screen capture - image, GIFs and OCR. I have a multibutton mouse and one mode is permanently set to ShareX so when watching something, I can quickly capture it.
Awesome video, thank you, valuable info.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is so cool. keep up the great work!
Thank you! Will do!
Thank you!!
Wow most of these windows tools I actually need because I've been looking for tools like these. Great video instruction that's a sub from me. 😊
Glad to have you aboard!
Appreciate you!!
Totally awesome! Thanks for the clear tutorial.
Hey there!! Can you explain the prudence Concept in accounting please?
Very useful utilities...
Thank you for sharing
YEARS ago I think I was part of a group using the beta version of Autoruns. It was handy for a quicker boot time and identifying unintentional/ poorly prioritised boot programs.
It worked well but after the trial access was limited, then dropped off completely.
Now that I’m older Zoomit looks just as useful. Thanks!
Great video. I've used Sysinternals since long before MS acquired them. Autoruns and ProcMon have always been fantastic tools. Mark Russinovich is definitely a genius. I've not looked at them in while, but I'll download the full suite and look through it again. I love the manual side to these tools, rather than relying on blackbox utilities to address issues.
I love these tools and there are so many that I have never even touched upon in the last 23 years of using this suite! Mark Russinovich and team were true Windows pioneers and helped me learn a lot of the innards of Windows.
👍
Thanks, my dear! Hugs from Brazil!
Merci pour les explications..très claires même pour un francophone..
Happy to hear that!
I like them all. Thank you
Hi Ma'am, please tell me, I working as an administrator in a building site dealing in accounts and corresspondences mostly using MS-Word and MS -Excel and plan to introduce my system to a trading platform (MT4) what would you suggest me to put off /on after down loading 'sysinternals'....
Thanks.
Wow 😳 really important video ❤️
Great video!
I use ZoomIt all the time when I present training sessions. I did not know about SysInternals but installed Zoomit separately. It is an extremely useful tool when students request me to enlarge a portion of the screen, like the formula bar in Excel, so that they can see the function/formula in more detail.
Thanks for sharing!
If you are watching someone's presentation in Teams, I think holding Ctrl and using the scroll wheel allows you to zoom in and out. You can also then drag to other parts of the presentation area.
for me, turning on the desktop, using the browser, printer and some other software without crashing is a feat. I always thought that Windows loaded too much unnecessary stuff. I was wrong... there are many more unnecessary things!
Thanks for the video!
Thank you for the tips.
Can you help me restore the windows search functionality? It looks like it is working but no result.
9:07 @ What's the program you're use for OSD (represent right-click and other input)
Leila, you are a star, so much information and so useful. I think that tutorials are going to be needed on some of the other attributes of Sysinternals. Totally impressed, thank you.
Thank you for the tips.
Our pleasure!
Very much helpful
Thank you so much.
Thanks!! 🙏🙏
You will soon be able to talk about "PC Manager" by Microsoft, which is in beta right now, its a free utility with similar features as CCLeaner (I stopped using it) for Windows 10 and 11. PS: 00:35 That is the Commodore Amiga 1000, my 2nd computer after the Commodore 64. Good times :)
Wow, that's great news. Microsoft should have done it years back. Or maybe make an OS that doesn't need CCleaner equivalent! Call me crazy.
I've been using this since it came out in the 90s. Great stuff.
👍
Wow! This is a great video, introducing a great tool set, that Microsoft is trying to hide! Thank you for a great job!
Please more tools like these
Thanks madam you work is good!....
Most welcome 😊
Amazing 💯💯💯
Great video! Awesome!
Good video. Mostly above my pay grade but good to know
Awesome video, please make a new one with more tools.
Thanks, we'll add it to our list.
With Sysinternals and PowerToys, you can really have some fun,
Hello! Do you know how to schedule a teams meeting that would have 3 time slot options for attendees to choose from?
Merci Leila !

Good tips!
ZoomIt is my favorite. Thank you!
My fav. tools are Total Commander AND Listary Pro
That's right! It's been around since 1996. I've been using it since 1996. I came online in 1995 as a Microsoft Professional at the age of 38.
Thank you very much Leila
Extraordinary, you are very gracious for sharing such advanced tools. Thank you so much, even though, it's definitely required learning for me... 😂🥰🌹
thank you!!!!!
Hello, im always following your videos, but just a little sugestion if you mind, can you create a video that give us a tips about microsoft default apps that actually not important and safe to uninstall without affecting the whole system, because i think there are to many apps which is i'm not sure if it is important or not. Just sharing 🤗🤗
Process Explorer helped me to solve a little mystery with my application at a customer computer. It requires a couple of dll's that usually are registered in GAC. Despite all needed dll's were there (I mean particular versions), application was still throwing exception. Process Explorer was actually my last resort help. What I found thanks to it, was that system provided an old dll version to the application because someone had copied an old version one of dll's into c:\windows\system32 which should never be there. Even correct dll version existed in my application folder and in GAC, the old one was being called.
Thanks for sharing your use case!
@@LeilaGharaniMy pleasure! :)
SDelete is one of my favorite utilities!
